AbstractStabilization of zero-valent CuNi nanoparticles (NPs) supported on Cicer arietenum (CP) is reported here for the reduction and removal of persistent organic pollutants. The functional groups and interactions of NPs with the CP were determined by ATR-FTIR. The crystallinity, morphology, and the elemental composition of the samples were determined through powder XRD, FESEM, and EDS techniques, respectively. The XRD spectrum displayed a sharp crystalline peak at 43.9 for CuNi. The Cu and Ni zero-valent NPs displayed a peak at almost the same region, and thus, both the peaks are merged and appeared as a single peak. The chemical reduction/degradation of eight model pollutants, viz., 2-nitrophenol (ONP), 3-nitrophenol (MNP), 4-nitrophenol (PNP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), methyl orange (MO), congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RB) were carried out in the presence of NaBH4. The kapp value of 0.1 mM 4NP was highest which was 1.8 × 10−1 min−1 while the slowest rate was observed for CR and RB with kapp 5.5 × 10−3 and 5.4 × 10−3 min−1 respectively. This article helps in the removal of toxic organic pollutants through green supported NPs.

Water is the most crucial thing to mankind and so its contamination by various agencies is posing a threat to the natural balance. So, in the present work, the efficiency of various adsorbents derived from plant waste, to remove different dyes from aqueous solution was evaluated. Parameters for study were contact time, concentration and pH. Various combinations of plant ashes were used for the study. It was found that adsorbent prepared from the combination of orange peels, pomegranate and banana peels ashes, exhibited good adsorption capacity for methylene blue, congo red and crystal violet. All these dyes were completely removed from the aqueous solution while methyl orange was not removed. Congo red was removed completely within 40 min of contact with the adsorbent while methyl orange took 3 hrs to be removed to the extent of 48% only. The adsorption coefficient of congo red was found to be 2.33 while value for methylene blue and crystal violet was 1 and 1.66 respectively. The characterization of adsorbent was done by Scanning Electron Microscopy and IR spectroscopy. SEM image revealed the surface of adsorbent to be made of differential pores. From the results it became evident that the low-cost adsorbent could be used as a replacement for costly traditional methods of removing colorants from water.

A series of ultralong (up to tens of micrometers) MoO3 nanowire-based membranes were synthesized for the treatment of aqueous solutions containing the cationic dyes methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB). This treatment method possesses extremely rapid and superhigh adsorbability (up to 521 and 321 mg/g for MB and RhB, respectively), as well excellent selective adsorption ability of cationic dyes with respect to the anionic dye methyl orange (MO). Moreover, the cationic dyes on the membrane can be desorbed easily, and reusability is good.

This paper describes a method to synthesize a graphene oxide sand composites (GSC) as filter media (absorbent) for water purification. Graphene oxides is synthesized from graphite using modification of Hummer's method. The graphene oxide sand composites is prepared through solution method at 100 °C. The graphene oxide is analyzed using XRD, FTIR to confirm its formation. The FTIR spectrum and XRD diffraction pattern confirmed that the graphene oxide synthesized by this method is able to convert graphite into graphene oxide. Performance tests were conducted using a column to purify contaminated water which was mimicked using dyes such as rhodamine B, methylene blue and methyl orange.The initial concentration for all dyes were set for 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 ppm. The color removal for methylene blue was 100% at all concentrations. However, for the rhodamine B and methyl orange, the color removal achieved 100% for the first three concentration 5, 10 and 25 ppm. The higher concentration of 50 and 100 ppm, the removal were slightly reduced. For the 50 ppm, the color removal of rhodamine B was 98% and for methyl orange 87% respectively. At 100 ppm, the color removal for rhodamine B drops to 92% and for the methyl orange was only 77% respectively. The GSC was very effective to remove methylene blue dyes at any concentration followed by rhodamine B and methyl orange. This GSC composite material is potential to be applied for water purification.

The design of sensitive and efficient photo catalyst for the energy and environmental applications with minimum charge recombination rate and excellent photo conversion efficiency is a challenging task. Herein we have developed a nonmetal doping methodology into ZnO crystal using simple solvothermal approach. The boron (B) is induced into ZnO. The doping of B did not make any significant change on the morphology of ZnO nano rods as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) without considerable change on periodic arrangement of nanostructures. The existence of B, Zn, and O is shown by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are well matched to the hexagonal phase for both pristine ZnO and B-doped ZnO. The XRD has shown slight dislocation of 2theta degree. The UV-visible spectroscopy was used to measure the optical bandgap and photo catalytic activity for the degradation of organic dyes. The nonmetal doped ZnO has shown potential and outstanding photo catalytic activity for the photo degradation of methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B in aqueous solution. The photo degradation efficiency of MB, MO and rhodamine B is found to be 96%, 86% and 80% respectively. The enhanced photo catalytic activity of B-doped ZnO is indexed to the inhibited charge recombination rate due to the reduction in the optical bandgap. Based on the obtained results, it can be said that nonmetal doping is excellent provision for the design of active materials for the extended range of applications.

The photocatalytic degradation of wastewater containing three industrial dyes belonging to different families, methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB), was studied under UV-Vis irradiation using synthesised silver chloride nanoparticles. The nanocatalyst was prepared by a dissolution/reprecipitation method starting from the bulk powder and the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride, [P6 6 6 14]Cl, without addition of other solvents. The obtained catalyst was characterised by UV-Vis absorbance, X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The decolourisation of the samples was studied by UV-Vis absorbance at the corresponding wavelength. Starting from 10 ppm dye solutions and 1 g L−1 of the synthesised AgCl nanoparticles, degradation efficiencies of 98.4% for MO, 98.6% for MB and 99.9% for RhB, were achieved in 1 h. The degradation mechanisms for the different dyes were studied. Comparison with other frequently used nanocatalysts, namely P-25 Degussa, TiO2 anatase, Ag and ZnO, highlights the strong catalytic activity of AgCl nanoparticles. Under the same experimental conditions, these nanoparticles led to higher (more than 10%) and faster degradations.
